As some of you may know, R&B Ashanti appears on the cover of the latest issue of KING magazine(click here to view more scans). In her feature, the ‘Only You’ singer spoke on, among other things, her new album, as well as her current standing with INC boss Irv Gotti. Check out extracts from the interview below:Ashanti On Her New Sexy Music

 

K- So if we can’t talk about relationships, let’s talk about sex. The new album has a few tracks that would make Salt N Pepa proud.

A- That’s a beautiful thing, and I hope I’m more within my right.

K- Guess Nelly’s brought out the inner freak in you? huh? Lucky Bastard!

A- I hope this isn’t being said wrong. I don’t want to come off as a slut bucket. I’m not that chick, but I am a adult. I am a woman.

Ashanti On Irv Gotti

K- When we talked to Irv Gotti, he said you were doing your own thing and that you felt you’d outgrown The Inc. Is that accurate?

A- Uh, how do I address this? I feel like, creatively, I wanted to try some new stuff, just to see, because there was a lot of stuff going on. Now, I wasn’t on trial, so obviously Irv’s focus and my focus were a little bit different.

K- But just because you weren’t at the trial everyday doesn’t mean you weren’t riding for the team.

A- Exactly, and I was filming, so it was hard. People underestimate the word business. Loving someone and being creative and passionate, that’s all easy. It’s hard when it turns into business.

She looks great! I can’t stop cracking up at her ‘slut bucket’ comment lol. For real though, switching up her oft ‘safe’ subject-matter may just be what she needs to do to show people her growth both artistically and in age (she turned 27 yesterday). In regards to Irv, like everyone else, Ashanti must know The INC is a sinking ship, hence why she’s trying to spread her wings. Irv just seems bitter.

Any thoughts?
